Chocolate and Raspberries Are Perfect Pair for Dessert

Chocolate Raspberry Tart Flavor-wise, dark chocolate and raspberries play beautifully together. And good news! Both are excellent sources of antioxidants. This recipe is NOT from any of my cookbooks, but I thought it looked so delicious I tweaked it a bit for you. You can have your chocolate, especially if you focus on a high cocoa content and pair it with some high fiber, nutrient-dense berries. Benefits Chocolate bars with over 70 percent cocoa are rich in flavonoids, which are potent antioxidants found in cocoa. Raspberries are also rich in flavonoids and antioxidant vitamins such as vitamin C. So, as […]

Stuffed Turkey Roll
Published by Grace O

Thanksgiving Is All Rolled Up in This Dish

  Stuffed Turkey Rolls I pack these turkey cutlets with my Savory Stuffing, roll them up, and secure them with kitchen twine. The finished rolls are sliced and fanned out on a plate to make a beautiful presentation. Because I marinate the turkey before cooking, it’s juicy and flavorful. The selenium in turkey can increase your resistance to infection. The red wine (I use a Pinot Noir) adds a bit of resveratrol to the selenium’s antioxidant power. SERVES 6 Ingredients ¼ cup soy sauce 2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce 1 Tbs. lemon juice (about ½ lemon) 2 Tbs. red wine Sea […]

Tapping Into the Marvels of Maple Syrup

Despite the fact that it was imported from far away Vermont and Canada, maple syrup was one of those things we always had on hand in the Philippines when I was growing up. My mother would give it to us with pancakes and use it as a glaze for her famous fruitcake. Maple syrup is the concentrated sap from sugar maple trees that grow only in New England and Eastern Canada. It’s collected, usually starting in March, when the nights are still near freezing but the days are starting to warm. The sugar in maple syrup is considered unrefined and […]

Cheers to Elegant Crab-Mango Cocktail

GARLIC CRAB ROYALE When served in martini glasses, these crab cocktails make elegant appetizers for dinner parties. I use Alaskan king crab legs, but you can use grilled shrimp instead. Semi-ripe mangoes are more tart than fully ripe mangoes and hold their shape better. Depending on your taste for spicy food and drink, adjust the amount of hot sauce and jalapenos, or omit them. These cocktails are delicious alongside my Guacamole with Pomegranate Seeds and tortilla chips. HEALTH BENEFITS: Crab and other shellfish contain selenium, an antioxidant that increases resistance to infection. The mango, lime, and hot sauce deliver plenty […]

Sometimes there’s just not enough time in a day. When I get home late from a long work day and need to create dinner, I have a few easy favorites that will save the day. Here’s my go-to solution for a quick, delicious and healthy meal — don’t go stir crazy — go stir-fry!
